How does conveyancing in Newton Longville differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Newton Longville contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Newton Longville usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Newton Longville or who has acted in the same development.

Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Newton Longville conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
